NOW CAPITALIZED AT FIVE MILLIONS Iloj'nlt.v. Art , Science , CommerceSo - jnml Sport Kind Them In- iicniinhlo Sornii llnnk * mid Their UMUM. Eighteen years ago a ronn bad an Idea , which ho developed with 50 cents , the last money in his pocket. Less than a month ngo half a dozen linns engaged in the business resulting from that idea coalesced and capitalized their Joint undertaking at $ " > , - 000,000 , Even at that they had no stock for pale the capitalization was merely an equitable prorating. Unless all signs fall there will bo bandsomo dividends. The busi ness la international and so solidly established only a social cataclysm can over set It. The story has been told more than once of how a young Ilusslan-Amorlcau , at the end of bis resources , saw a famous French artist pay handsomely for papers several tlays old , containing notices of his salou pictures , and was inspired by the sight with the thought of making a business of furnishing such notices to whoever had need of them. Hut the spread and develop ment of llio thing thus insignificantly be gun will bo news to the most part of the reading world. Today 60,000 persons and $50,000,000 are employed in the business of making and distributing newspaper clippings. There nro between fifty and 100 bureaus In the United States , newly as many In Kngland and on the continent , others at Melbourne , Sydney , Calcutta , Yokohama , Hong Kong , Johannesburg , Natal , Uueuos Ayreu and Itlo do Janeiro. All the biggest of these- are In effect international. It they have not branches all about they have Instead a sort of trndlc arrangement , after Ido manner of the big banks , by which their foreign corre spondents 1111 cabled orders quite aa though they were received over their own counters. Even this does not mark the full spread of the idea. Hallways , telegraph lines and express companies have gone Into the busi ness on their own account. At first they were among the regular bureaus' most pay ing subscribers , but presently they began ordering local agents to clip and file every line of railway matter appearing in local Test Free the Remedy That Saves Life.

Some bureaus give their whole mind to things literary. To them the au thor , especially the full-fledged author. Is as the shadow of a great rock In a weary land. The mlntito a book Is out sometimes even earlier the writer of It receives their cir cular letter , enclosing a sample clipping a notice of himself or his book and asking his subscription. The rnto Is ? 5 per 100 clippings , or , If the writer be little known , $5 a year. When competition Is keen fig- urea are often lowered one-half. In caf.o the author should already have engaged with another bureau it Is not uncommon to ask that the later comer bo allowed to send clippings also , receiving pay only for such as are not duplicates of those already re ceived. Besides notices and reviews the literary bureau will , if ordered , send all manner of literary Intelligence. It la thus a very present help to those who live away from the great centers. It is a question , how ever , If the bureau is not equally a boon to those in the great centers.

Is so tense and crowded ono lion but little time to seek out Items for hliu elf. Certain tacts Ju clipping history bear out the Idea. Emperor William , for example , Is much too busy to read the papers , yet needs strenuously to know .what his world Is saying of particular things. So ho has a scrap book , In charge of a court officer , whoso business It Is to 8ee that every morning It Is brought strictly up to date nnd duly submitted to the Imperial eye. W. T. Stead , another very busy man , is credited with possessing a whole library of books made up of clippings. It fills three dingy rooms in a London house and la said to have { suggested to him the plan of the Review of Reviews. Other bureaus concern themselves mainly with business affairs. They give to their subscribers not only all that appears In print concerning the subscribers' lines of business , but advance Intelligence of such things ns the letting of contracts , the adop tion ot building plans , now materials , In ventions , discoveries , legal decisions affectIng - Ing commercial Interests , also legislation. While the ningley bill was pending every firm interested Iho wool trade received from a Chicago bureau every scrap of in telligence hearing on the wool schedules. It Is the eamo with other staples cotton , copper , wheat , live stock , crop prospects generally. The whole material world Indeed Is the business bureau's parish , and ono that IB very carefully looked after. The. very latest development Is the bureau of medical Intelligence , which col lects and distributes whatever Is new In medicine. This not merely of the astound ing discoveries that exploit themselves , but of operations , experiments , theories even , which men eminent in the profession put Into print. They are , of course , always available to the men who know where to find them and have time to look. Ono needs Imagination to see anything picturesque In the mechanics of clipping. One establishment with over 100 e-mployes shows 10 the casual eye only ranks and rows of men and'women , reading , blue penciling , clipping , pasting and stamping. This bureau's usual output Is DO,000 clippings a week. I'ndcr a rush order It couM clip and mall 100,000. There Is mi elaborate system of card classification. The cards are hung on hooks In a stalr-steppy rack some four feet across , and running the whole length of a very long room. Nearly every hook Is filled , but the fact Is far from being solely a comment on human vanity. It needs but a little reflection to see that tne clippings run the whole gamut of human passions , neces sities and desires. With that in mind a certain sense of tragi comedy , or comic tragedy comes as one looks. The commonplace nianila envelopes fly out and about , freighted with many things. Ninety-nine may signify nothing , yet the hundredth be potential to Joy or grief , ot failure or BUticoss , particularly among the personal clippings , which make still BO large a part of the general Business. Oddly enough It Is not the class ono would look for actors , artists and authors which lamest most avid of this sort of thing. Society people are even more anxious to see what the 'world ' outside thinks ot tnem. This not only of the great lights , but those who affost to deplore publicity. The book of "latest orders" in a big New York establishment around horse show and dog show times , nnd In the era ot important social functions , would reveal much as to the Inwardness and inspiration of certain pub lished things. The professionals , however , by no means slight the bureau's good offices. They could not afford to neither could the bure.uis afford to ret them. Witness these two facts : Duse In the course of eleven weeks received 2,888 personal clippings ; Richard Mansfield's order excludes itho work of his press agent end critiques of his plays as plays , yet In the , season his weekly clippings bill often runs ; to $30. Queen Victoria subscribes to more than one bureau , but never seen the clippings until they have ibeen put In books under the editing of some of her family , which means , of course , the leaving out of any thing unpleasant. The prince of Wales also takes clippings from two sources. In addi tion he cute out with his own royal hands all the pictures of himself which appear In the public prlnt . The greater the carica ture the broader his chuckle over it. Slurs upon his family are said to touch him nearly , yet to things said against hhnaelf he IB artlessly Indifferent. One can readily credit that upon hearing that by his own order a scrap book was made for him con taining American opinions In re the baccarat scandal. iHowovor , the royal patron dearent to clippings iburcau regard Is his majesty , the czar of all the Husslas. He has shown him self exceedingly well disposed toward them. Some of their notable orderu have come at his Instance. A Now York bureau man has made for him sumptuously bound scrap books , all Husela leather , and gold clasps and gilt edges , first about the death and obsequies of his father , Alexander III. , then about his own marriage and coronation cere monies , and later in regard to the Ameri can Journey of Prince IllUkoff , his minister of railways. The same house has now In hand cllpplnge about the peace conference , which are to form another In the series ot imperial 6crap books. They are the finest over made ID New York , exceeding even the magnificent volumes In which iMrs. Dradley- Martln Is preserving the 8,000 odd clippings in pralso of her famous ball. Governmental ClIpiiInK * . Uncle Sam himself has stolen the clip pings idea , and keeps at the White House a corps of trained clippers and a government scrap book. President Cleveland Is said to have looked at the scrap book just once In his last term 'that was In the course of the Venezuelan crisis. Mrs. Harrison sub scribed to a bureau on her own account , and her daughter has many books furl ot the things printed about "Baby" McKee. Mrs. Cleveland had a scrap book of personal notices cot , however , of herself , but of her husband. The wives ot many other prom inent men have similar books , which It Is both reasonable and charitable to hope do not Include the caricatures of their liege lords , Almost every man In public life Is a ) bureau-subscriber. "Himself" Is the order I oftencst written opposite a big name , though j In many cases It Is "Himself and Pacific railroads , " or "Himself and the Nicaragua | canal , " or oven "Himself and the Agricultural - cultural department.1' Uncle Sam is , however , not wholly with out conscience in the matter of clippings , , or perhaps he has learned -wisdom by ex perience. It took ? 15,000 to buy for his archives a complete file ot a New- York paper covering the period of the civil war ; further the Townsend scrap 'book history of that war cost Columbia college $40,000. Whether from conscience or thrift , the gov ernment has Just ordered and received from a 'New ' York establishment n scrap history of the 'war with Spain. It Is in twenty big volumes , though most of the war pictures were left out. The volumes are bound In morocco cloth and cost the government $1,000. That sum Indeed' hardly covered the cost of making , but the bureau man. has gathered a duplicate set of clippings nnd looks for his profit In them , whenever a rich and patriotic citizen decided to glvo a similar history to West Point or Annapolis. Stanford university has already a monumental mental set of scrap histories , bearing on everything American , and partlcufarly the life and works ot Its founder. John L. Sullivan gets clippings subject not specified. Lord Randolph Churclilll ordered "everything unfavorable , " and was forced by the size of his first month's bill to exactly reverse his order , Nicola Tesla wants "electrical Inventions. " Edison Is more comprehensive ho orders clippings upon above twenty subjects of living Inter est. W. D. Howells subscribes Intermit tently , for real incidents going with what ever study he may have In band. Many lesser lights of literature order "unusual real stories. " One man who is said to have a plot factory patronized by both novelists and dramatists when Imagination lags wants nil sorts of hairbreadth happenings. "Stories of elopement" was another order. The maker of It , strange to relate , was not a realistic novelist , but a luckless lover , who hoped thus by vicarious example to persuade his sweetheart < o defy her parents nnd make him happy. The Cramps got every line printed In any part of the world about any one of their ships. Dr. Seward < Webb has everything about horses , nnd 0. Oliver Iselin all about cup races. Mr. Inolln has already a fine scrap book ot Defender's exploits. I.AIIOIl ANI ) INDUSTRY. Paper is made from seaweed. Japan makes shingles of paper , Germany exports potatoes to America. Paper IB now being made in Holland from potato stems nnd leaves. In Chicago is made 45 per cent of the vinegar manufactured in the United States , Half a dozen American women are earn ing a living as stenographers in Havana. The hoisting engineers of Now York are now getting $4.50 a day for eight hours' work. St. Louis trade with Cuba requires eleven more ships for its transaction this year than last. The water works of the city of Mancbes. tcr , England , is the best paying municipal concern In the world , producing an annual net profit to the city of $1,000,000. Within a year probably the United States will pass Great Britain in coal production. In long tons in 1EOS Great Britain mined 202,042,000 and the United States 106,282,000. Statistics published in Montreal show that 20,000 people have loft the Province of Quebec for the states this year. Most of the emigrants have gone to manufacturing centers. An advance of 22 per cent in the wages of 45,000 iron and steel workcra will soon bo made as the result of an agreement reached last week in a conference between the manufacturers and the representatives of the Amalgamated Association of Iron , Steel and Tin Workers. Consul Makln of Relchenberg , Austria , re ports a process In vogue there for making artificial cotton from shavings of the 11 r tree. The shavings are steamed , soaked in sodium lye and heated under pressure , with the result of converting them into ccllu < lose. This has castor nil , calfelne and gelatine added to it and I * then reeled off Into tbroads , much after the manner of artificial silk. SUGAR FROM ALKALI SOIL Beets Successfully Raised on Boil Considered Useless. RESULTS OF A TEN-ACRE EXPERIMENT J'rolltnlilc Tips for Farmer * In the Arid Jlpjtlon IrriKntlon ICnn to SueveHN 1'erc'cntnnc of Alkali .Suit. . Sugar beets , it was thought for a long time , could not bo grown profitably on soils containing much alkali. The great interest awakened , however , in the sugar beet question and particularly in the west , where irrigation has proven such a suc cess with this crop , has led to experiments with growing beets In soils containing moro or lefas alkali. Although the sugar beet Industry Is Just beginning to bo established In this coun try and wo toavo millions of acres of land whoso adaptability to the growth of the beet is unquestioned , it is nevertheless Im portant to ascertain the possibilities of suc cessful sugar-beet culture on alkali soils , inasmuch as the proximity of such soils to beet sugar factories may make them espe cially desirable as beet fields. The existence of these conditions in southern California , near the largo sugar beet factory at Clilno , nnd the fact that the beet fields there were rapidly extended with but little regard to the presence of alkali , without seriously in juring the quality of the beet , induced the California experiment station to make a study of the effect of different kinds and amounts of alkali In the soil on the growth and quality of sugar beets. The Investigation was made on a ten-acre field located on the border of a tract of alkali land. Tim tract contained occasional email alkali spots , which , however , did not scorn to Interfere with Its natural growth of wild grasses nnd sunflowers. This soil was first planted to various grasses and legumes , but as none of these gave promise of a crop , the greater part of the tract was again plowed and planted to sugar beets. They Orovv Well. "These came up quickly , though with n | somewhat thin stand , right among the alkali j efflorescences , and continued to grow without - | out let or hindrance. " The alkali salts did I not eeem to affect the beets , although they had proved Injurious to the grasses and legumes Different portions of the tract had different amounts and qualities of alkali alts , and to deduce definite conclusions re garding the tolerance of the plants for the several mixtures of salts the tract was di vided Into plats fifty feet square , which was Investigated separately. It Is concluded from the results obtained that without question sugar beets of a good quality can bo grown on soil containing as much as 12,000 pounds of alkali salts per acre to the depth of three feet , provided the average percentage of common Bait Is not over 0.04 per cent , or 1,500 pounds per acre. acre.To find out whether the sugar bep can be profitably grown on alkali lands It Is recom mended to those Interested In such lands to ascertain the total amount of salts In the upper tlirce or four feet of soil. This maybe bo accomplished by taking an average sam ple of the soil to that depth by means of a post-hole auger and having the amount of soluble salts contained in it determined. A considerable portion of the salts present In tliu first three or four feet of the soil may coma to the surface under cultivation and Irrigation and may give the cell the appear ance of being too heavily Impregnated with alkali to grow beets ; but , as tfafno experi ments Indicate , the feasibility of juccesifully . growing sugar bc.ets dep.ends on the total amount of alkali salts present In this upper stratum and soil with marked alkali efflores cences at the surface may be perfectly capa ble of profitable sugar beet culture. Perfect ComliUoiiM tvlth Irrigation. While the arid area on which beets can bo grown without Irrigation Is probably con- flnod almost exclusively to the coast valleys of California , where the &oll Is of that tex ture which allows subterranean moisture to reach the rootlets , the successful commercial production ot sugar beets In Utah and New ( Mexico has opened up a new and extensive field for the extension of the sugar Indus try over large areas suited to Irrigation in the western and southwctstern regions of the United States. It Is certain now that Colorado rado , Utah , New Mexico , Idaho nnd Arizona may become great sugar producing states , not excluding other areas In the arid region. California has already set the pace of prog ress and the other arid states will not bo slow to follow. The high cost of good Irri gation renders it Imperative that the areas under culture bo devoted to a crop which Is capable of producing a more valuable yield than Is afforded by cereal culture. Of all the homo markets for our domestic agricul tural products , there Is none so Insistent norse so expansive as that for sugar. With an an nual consumption of 2,000,000 tons and with a certainty of rapid Increase , Uie demand for sugar promises to bo the salvation of Ameri can agriculture. Cnn Compete ivltli tin * World , The northern parts of our eastern and middle states and the states of Oregon and Washington have at least an equal chance for the successful production of beet sugar with the Holds of Franco and Germany. The Irrlgablo parts of the great southwest , It is bcllovod , have advantages of soil and climate which will enable them to enter into competition even with the Hawaiian Islands and Cuba. To bo able to control the moisture In the soil Is a matter of prime Importance to the hoct grower. In the arid region the beet can too left to mature at the proper time by withholding the water. Subsequently there Is no danger of loss duo to second growth , so easily Induced by Jato warm autumnal rains , In a dry doll the boot can endure without damage a low tem perature , which would prove qulto disas trous In a wet climate. Moro complete ma turity may be thus obtained , nnd a morn leisurely harvest. In fact , It Is stated , there in no staple crop which can compete with the sugar beet In demanding the favorable - blo attention of those Interested in irriga tion. It Is estimated that nearly 100,000,000 acres of land in the arid regions of the United States may eventually bo Irrigated , being nearly enc tlfth of the total area of the country. Of this area perhaps 10 per cent are capable of easy and speedy Irriga tion. tion.The The building of some of the storage reser voirs by the government under the river nnd harbor appropriation , as advocated by Senator Warren and others In congress last winter , sites for which have already been officially surveyed and reserved , would re claim enough land and open It to settlement to supply the entire $100,000,000 worth of sugar for which the United States now f > ends annually to Germany and Franco , thus enriching the farmers of those countries at the expense of our own. One million acres planted to beets would yield , under extensive culture , a quantity f > i Dugar sufficient , with the I/oulslana prod ucts , for domestic consumption. With this great sugar production and the posslblll- tin ; for stimulus to dairying and feeding opened up through the use of the byproducts of the beet after the sugar has been ex tracted , there is nowhere In sight a more promising prospect for agricultural develop ment than in the production ot sugar beets en Irrigated lands.

A certain .Methodist minister , who lived 00 a very small salary , had great difficulty to got his quarterly Installment. Ho had called on his steward a number of times , tout had each time been put off with some excuse , His wants at length becoming urgent , he went to his steward and told him he must have his money , as his family wrtnted the ( / neccfbarics of life. "Money ! " replied the steward. "You preach for money ! 1 thought you preached for the good of souls ! " "Souls ! " ropllcd the minister , "I can't eat souls , nnd If I could It would take a thousand - sand such as yourw to make a decent meal.

Everything was done to mnko the vlhlt pleasant. On Saturday afternoon wo were taken down the river , and , - on returning the chairman of arrangements L said : 'Tomorrow Is Sunday , nnd you will 7 have the day to yourselves.
